Free-roaming journalists say their lives at risk
British journalists covering the war in Iraq have said their lives are being put at risk because of a decision by the British Ministry of Defence to hinder rather than help correspondents who are not attached to its units. In some cases, reporters who have made their own way into the country are being forced to sleep in their vehicles in still unsafe streets rather than allowed to park in some of the army bases, air strips and ports that the invading forces have seized. "My job is to make your lives as difficult as possible. You will get not help whatsoever," a senior army spokesman allegedly told one group of journalists.
